i have one query. that if we have a multi domain protein structure to solve ,and we know about only one small domain of the protein for MR . other domain structure is not known then how we can proceed. is there any procedure to utilize  phase from the solution with known domain .

Well - first use pointless to see if there is any agreement between the two data sets. You can input the unmerged scalepack output.. Use the option - find Laue group for each data set - it will suggest if you should have point group 222 or just 2. And then the option. match index to reference a

Or you can try also substituting anomalous cations into the mix, such as CsI, take multiple data sets, and do MIRAS: NaCl NaI CsCl CsI One would then be able to subtract the various differences to find the HA's. Cs has a pretty good anomalous signal at CuKa wavelength (~8 electrons). Jacob

if the link between the domains is not part of the interface then perhaps a good first approximation may be to "cut" the linker and then use a program such as APBS to compute the binding energy.. > Hi, > > Recently we determined two structures of the same protein in complex with > different molec
